Anyone had the OverDrive 1000 failure: "Synchronous Exception at 0x00000081FBA605D8" ? Anyone recovered from such?

I initiated a reboot of the OverDrive 1000 that I
have access to and it got:

Power On gets the same. So far 100% repeating.

Disconnecting everything but the USB serial gets
the same. Swapping the DIMMs gets the same,
0x00000081FBA605D8 unchanged.

Anyone had the issue and any success with recovering
from the failure? Other potentially useful information
related to the issue?

Well, the attempt to re-flash the EDK2 UEFI firmware
did not go well:

It may be the end for the OverDrive 1000.
